AMP UP YOUR ADMIN<\/b><\/p>\n

Presented by Amanda Giles<\/a><\/p>\n

In this talk, we will review a number of code snippets designed to make the WordPress admin area a more polished, powerful, and user friendly place \u2013 and all without plugins. You\u2019ll want these in your toolbox for reuse on every site. Simple tasks such as adding a custom logo and styling to the login screen, making the content editor reflect your site\u2019s look and feel, and adding your business\u2019 contact info on each page, and then on to the more complex job of adding sortable fields and filters to better navigate content on the back-end as well as creating dashboard widgets.<\/p>\n

In this talk, we review how to get valuable data about your website using A\/B testing and Advanced Google Analytics configurations; and how to use that data to gain insight into how you can improve your blog or website. We’ll also explore how to implement these techniques in WordPress and review case studies of organizations who have leveraged their data to drastically improve their website performance.<\/p>\n
